If not test score was submitted you were given a 998 (SAT Score).
@ghostwritergirl - where are you getting the 18% number from?
You are correct in that the majority of scholarship funds are campus based awards
<<<Quote below from
@Montana State Army ROTC >>>
Cadet Command understands students have encountered challenges finding
opportunities to take SAT and ACT tests. We further understand many colleges have
waived the SAT/ACT requirement for admissions.
The Test Flexible policy was developed to ensure every high school scholarship applicant
is afforded the opportunity to submit the most complete and competitive application as
possible.
Those students who were able to take the SAT or ACT but did not earn a qualifying
score are NOT eligible to compete for a scholarship using the Test Flexible policy.
As in previous years, those students are invited to participate in ROTC when they
arrive on campus. They will be eligible to compete for a scholarship in college once
they have earned at least a 2.5 term and cumulative GPA.
Process
Students not able to test can submit supporting information beginning 29 JAN 2021
through the March Selection Board document deadline of 1 MAR 2021 for those who
cannot take the ACT/SAT before 7 FEB 2021. Supporting information includes one of the
following:
Cancelled test registration communications from ACT or College Board.
A brief statement from a high school guidance counselor for students not able to
register due to COVID-19 restrictions; no tests were scheduled in their area.
Upload one of these document categories as “ACT/SAT CANCELLATION DOCUMENT”
Once this document is approved, RMID processors will change the document type to
“SAT SCORES” and an SAT score of 998 (499 EBR&W and 499 Math) will be entered
into their application. ALL test flexible applicants will have a 998 SAT test score.
Given the student also submitted a qualifying high school transcript, their status will
change to Interviewee (see Selection Status tab of your application).
This will enable them to continue the application process to prepare their packet for
the March Selection Board.
They must still complete the rest of the application, the Physical Fitness Assessment,
and PMS Interview in order to be boarded and considered for scholarship selection.
All “test flexible” applicants will be boarded together during the 15-19 March 2021 board
window. Notification of selected applicants will be made with the normal March board.
Students boarded through the “test flexible” process and not selected through the
centralized process are still eligible to be awarded one of the brigade’s 3AD scholarship
allocations. No test score waiver will be required for 3AD winners
